1 Response Time Reliability Call Processing Time Turnout Time "Chute Time" Response Time - Urban/Suburban Response Time - Rural Back in Service Time "Drop Time" Call Coverage Time from 911 call intake (alarm) until unit notification including answering the phone, gathering vital information, and initiating a response by dispatching appropriate units (dispatch). Time from response unit notification (dispatch) to vehicle wheels rolling toward the incident location. This includes personnel preparation for response, boarding the responding apparatus/vehicle, placing the apparatus/vehicle in gear for response, and wheels rolling toward the emergency scene. Time from response unit notification (dispatch) to the arrival of the vehicle on scene at an address/incident location in an urban/suburban environment. This does not include the time to access the patient. Time from response unit notification (dispatch) to the arrival of the vehicle on scene at an address/incident location in a rural environment. This does not include the time to access the patient. Rural is defined by population density as determined by the respective County EMS Medical Director. Arrive at destination until Back in Service Time Response units are staffed and equipped to respond immediately to a request for emergency medical assistance. Communication and Dispatch component plays a major role in the efficiency and overall system deployment and response. Thus the communications component must be measured to assess the quality of its individual operations. The time from alert to wheels turning provides an indication of the state of readiness of personnel. Minimizing this time is crucial to an immediate response and minimizing response time. This measurement is indicative of the system's capability to adequately staff, locate, and deploy response resources. It is also indicative of responding personnel's knowledge of the area or dispatcher instruction for efficient travel. This measurement is indicative of the system's capability to adequately staff, locate, and deploy response resources. It is also indicative of responding personnel's knowledge of the area or dispatcher instruction for efficient travel. The time required to transfer care is representative of the hospital system's ability to receive EMS patients and also of the agency's ability to turn around units for subsequent calls for service. Public service agencies responsible for emergency response must adequately staff mobile units to respond for requests for service in their district in a timely manner. 95% of calls processed in less than 90 seconds When a resource is staffed, 90% of all Priority 1 and 2 calls turned out in less than 60 seconds. First responder with minimum of BLS capability is on scene 90% of the time in 5:00 for all emergent events (Delta or Echo) where first responder is dispatched the time for Priority 1 calls in 10:00 the time for Priority 2 calls in 10:00 the time for Priority 3 calls in 15:00 BLS transport capable vehicle is on scene 90% of the time for Priority 4 calls in 25:00 First responder with minimum of BLS capability is on scene 90% of the time in 8:00 for all emergent events where first responder is dispatched the time for Priority 1 calls in 17:00 the time for Priority 2 calls in 17:00 the time for Priority 3 calls in 22:00 BLS transport capable vehicle is on scene 90% of the time for Priority 4 calls in 32:00 90% of back in service times are within 30 minutes. 95% of calls requesting service in the agency's district are covered by that agency or a formal agreement with an alternative agency(ies) to achieve the response time reliability expectations listed above.

2 Safety Vehicle Failures Vehicle Crashes Patient Care Equipment Patient Care Device Failures Employee Illness and Injury Number of Vehicle Failures while in Service. Number of Vehicle Crashes while in Service. Number and type of required EMS equipment missing from daily EMS Agency and State Regulatory Inspections. Number and type of patient care or medical device failures while in use. Crew members becoming ill or injured as a result of participating in an EMS encounter including employee exposures requiring evaluation or medical follow-up (e.g., needle sticks, blood or body fluid exposure to broken skin or mucous membranes, infectious aerosol exposures in unmasked personnel, and inhaled or dermal hazardous material exposure requiring medical evaluation). The number of vehicle failures is directly related to the policies regarding the use of those vehicles and the preventive maintenance program in place at the agency. Vehicle failures have a direct impact on patient care and thus are indicators of quality within the EMS system. The number of vehicle crashes is directly related to the policies regarding the use of those vehicles. Vehicle crashes have a direct impact on patient care and thus are indicators of quality within the EMS system. The availability of required equipment on a vehicle is directly related to the policies regarding daily vehicle inspection and agency policy. Missing patient care equipment has a direct impact on patient care and thus are indicators of quality within the EMS system. The number of patient care device failures is directly related to the policies regarding the use of those devices and the preventive maintenance program in place at the agency. Device failures have a direct impact on patient care and thus are indicators of quality within the EMS system. Engineering and procedural precautions against such crew member exposures are required by federal regulation. The health and safety of personnel is fundamental to the quality of an EMS system. Rescuers who become ill or injured cannot care for a member of the public. 0% of calls result in vehicle failure. 0% of calls result in vehicle crash. 0% of calls have missing patient care equipment. 0% of calls result in patient care device failure. 0% of calls result in crew member illness, injury, or exposure.

3 Assurance Program Patient Care Protocol Compliance Vital Sign Documentation atic Users Repeat Patients The department operates a complete quality assurance program that includes retrospective chart review as well as direct field observation by a designated medical quality officer or medical director. EMS personnel operated or performed patient care according to established protocol. Refer to Patient Care Measures Appendix. Documentation of a minimum of one Systolic BP, Diastolic BP, Pulse, Respiratory Rate, Pulse Oximetry, Pain Score (if appropriate), and GCS (if injury). Patients who request EMS response more than four times in a calendar month. Patients who request EMS response more than once in a 72-hour period. An established quality program is an indicator of the system's attention to quality. An established program indicates the agency's effort toward establishing and maintaining quality within the EMS system. Compliance with established patient care protocols is intuitively related to the quality of the care delivered in the EMS system. The quality of care then relates to the overall quality of the system. A complete set of vital signs on every patient encounter represents an objective measure of patient assessment and is a measure of quality within the EMS system. Repeat calls to a location may be indicative of at risk patients or opportunities for prevention and is a measure of the systems responsiveness to public health need. Repeat calls within a short time period by a single individual may be indicative of high risk patients or inappropriate decisions to not transport. Agency has in place a written Assurance Program that focuses on quality of care and can demonstrate its active use in improving patient care at the agency. 100% of patient contact PCRs are reviewed as part of the Program. 100% patient care protocol compliance for nonspecified events; Patient Care Measures Appendix may be used to define more specific protocol compliance. 100% of patient contact PCRs include one complete set of vital signs documented. 100% of repeat call PCRs are reviewed for opportunities for prevention. 100% of repeat call PCRs are reviewed for protocol and policy compliance.

4 Critical Patient s Provider Proficiency Skills Performed Skill Proficiency Patient Contact Numbers (Crew) Patient Contact Numbers (Primary Caregiver) Defibrillation Availability CPR Interval Scene Time Number of skills performed by each professional. Refer to Skill Matrix Appendix. Success rate of skills performed by each professional. Number of PCR's where EMS personnel are listed as any crew member. Number of PCR's where EMS personnel are listed as the Primary Caregiver. Defibrillator-trained emergency response personnel and a defibrillator is available for use from the time of 911 call receipt. Time of 911 call receipt until initiation of chest compressions. Time of patient contact to time of departure to hospital. Regular and satisfactory skills performance, whether direct or simulated, is important in maintaining proficiency at all provider levels. Skill proficiency is equally important to skill performance, and is indicative of additional required training (simulation, etc) to maintain such proficiency. Patient contacts are vital to maintaining the cognitive and procedural skills of an EMS professional. Failure to meet established patient contact numbers should result in additional training (simulation, etc) to maintain those skills. The frequency of primary caregiver interactions is critical to assure the active practice of prehospital medicine through the assessment, management, and documentation of patient care. Faiure to meet established patient contact numbers should result in additional training (simulation, etc) to maintain those skills. Early defibrillation is the Standard of Care for patients with cardiac arrest; therefore, defibrillation availability is indicative of EMS system quality. Measuring the interval from 911 activation to initiation of chest compressions is an indicator of community training in CPR. Minimizing scene time for critically ill patients is a measure of the crew's situational awareness and teamwork; risks of lights and sirens use must be balanced by risk to patient and responder. Agency should establish target and providers should meet 95% compliance. Agency should establish target and providers should meet 95% compliance. Agency should establish target and meet 100% compliance. Agency should establish target and meet 100% compliance. 50% of first shocks delivered in 5:00 or less from the time of 911 call receipt. 90% of cardiac arrests receive CPR within 3:00 of call Intake. Those patients requiring the use of Red Lights and Siren transport to the hospital are enroute to the appropriate facility within 10 minutes of the time of arrival exclusive of access/extrication delays; all use of lights and siren with a patient on board are reviewed by the agency Medical Director.
